After reports exposed Drago and his wife's affiliations (Active Clubs, Patriot Front, WLM, NSM, AFA), he maintained his job at Simply Divine Massage in Surprise, AZ. He was still listed on their website and available for booking. However, an update in the law meant he would be barred from renewal.

Drake legally changed his name and is now known as Ryan Aleksander Drago, or Aleksander Ryan, and is a licensed massage therapist and appears to be available for appointments at a spa in Surprise. The business has not replied to 12News' request for comment. 
Drake was granted a license under Ryan Aleksander Drago by the Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy in 2018.
A representative from the State Board of Massage Therapy said the board was aware of the manslaughter conviction, but at the time the qualifications for licensure were around convictions within 5 years of the date of application, and only applied to crimes that had a 'reasonable relationship to the practice of massage therapy', like prostitution or solicitation.
However, Arizona law changed in 2023, requiring new applicants and renewals to get a Level 1 fingerprint clearance card. 
AZ law does not allow a Level 1 fingerprint clearance card to be issued to those with manslaughter charges...

Simply Divine Massage ignored requests for comment, continued to promote Drago's services and left him available for booking. They deleted negative reviews of Drago and temporarily removed their page from Facebook. Only after Drago's license was up did they finally remove him and re-open their FB.
